I'm very confident that there will be no changes in 1.12. The next step is to produce a tool that can type check code written using some design. After that we will try to produce a tool that can rewrite generic code into standard Go 1 code, by renaming functions. This may only work on one package to start. That will let us actually experiment with almost-real code. After that, we will see. I have no timelines for any of this, but it's clearly on the order of months.
